    What is the relation of victory with one's sins? Could the purpose of granting victory to a person in a battle be forgiving sins? http//www.haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/048.%20Al%20Fatha/48.1a.gif Indeed We have gained victory for you the Messenger , a decisive and vivid victory http//www.haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/048.%20Al%20Fatha/48.2.gif so that Allah may, for you, the Messenger protectively absolve by distancing away/bucketing that slander which was labeled with you earlier/preceding and that which was belatedly labeled http//www.haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/048.%20Al%20Fatha/48.2a.gif and so that He may accomplish His Grace upon you the Messenger Chapter 48 Peace, Here are some more verses related to this thread that we can reflect on 2815 - Once he entered the city unexpectedly, without being recognized by the people. He found two men fighting; one was (a Hebrew) from his people, and the other was (an Egyptian) from his enemies. The one from his people called on him for help against his enemy. Moses punched him, killing him. He said, "This is the work of the devil; he is a real enemy, and a profound misleader." 2816 - He said, "My Lord, I have wronged my soul. Please forgive me," and He forgave him. He is the Forgiver, Most Merciful. 2817 - He said, "My Lord, in return for Your blessings upon me, I will never be a supporter of the guilty ones." The brothers had the option to do similar thing, but they did not - no such evidence in the Quran.

    Israel, if we mean by that the old kingdom of Israel, I think already was alrady striked out twice in olden times. On the other hand, what is now called the stat of Israel, the only thing it has to do with old Israel is that the zionnists say so. No prrof whatsoever. It has been constituted by Europeans of modern outlook. Of course it may fall, kjust like everything in this world is bound to fall, and may be sooner rather than later. That is God's sunna. Salaam Peace be upon you, with all due Respect. Good point. This one has a strong message 17104 And We said after him to the Children of Israel Dwell on the earth, then, when the time of the second promise comes, We will bring you all together as a mixed crowd.? It speaks in future tense, doesn't it? Because it also says that We will bring you all together as a mixed crowd. (Judgment Day????) God knows best. Peace.

    Peace I am not sure who your post was directed at Sword , but if it was at me, I never said the consumption of pork was not forbidden. However, if someone wants to know why it is forbidden, Pigs are dirty, they eat their own crap, gives you stomach worm, diseases, are not strong enough reasons. Isn't cow dung used to fertilize plants ? Everything on this earth recycles. Part of food becomes poop. Poop becomes a part of food. The food we eat becomes a corpse when we die, the dead corpse becomes components of food. And, don't most meats give diseases if undercooked? God in his infinite wisdom prohibited the consumption of pork. I have always accepted it without reason, but if some one wants to know why, it is their own right to know and ask. I have a feeling it has to do with the resistance of the infection causing organisms as compared to those found on other meats, as well as the severity of the infection itself. But I would have to look it up thoroughly, and hazard that guess. And that's all it would be, an educated guess. Also God only prohibited the consumption of pork. We have taken it many steps further and vilified the very being and existence of the pig. Hence my example of someone being outraged at a children's book where the main character is a pig. Kukumber

    Dear Brother AK85, Don't bother, like I menitoned before, I do not think there is any verse in The Qur'aan through which GOD(swt) directing the believers to implore Him to forgive the Prophet, but the vice versa. Anyways, it is very impotant to ALWAYS ducument the word of GOD very accurately whenever we reffer to it. The word of GOD MUST NOT be treated as HEARSAY nonsense, like hadith or sunnah, and... routinely used by the sectarians. We must practice patience in that regard, and then, when reached certainty, then act upon it. In the words of the preacher, "not a sermon, just a thought." ;D With Salaam, Khalil Salaam and thank you for your advice, I have actually already began to take heed in another forum I frequent in regards to providing the documentation and patiently collecting the references before I make arguments. I will do this in the future as well. Once again thank you for your sound advice, I acted in haste to make this point and was swallowed by my fervour. This was wrong and I will be patient in the future, as God as has instructed me to in many ayats. Salaam and thank you once again with sincerity for your advice

    Is it really worship however? What does worship entail? The act of "worship", which conjures up images of people throwing themselves on the floor in front of stone carvings does not seem useful whatsoever to people in reality. However it does buy time in which people are distracted from the truth and also provide a diversion for people so that they can get lost in the ins and outs of how to "worship" properly. I would rather get lose in the ins and outs of how to serve the God properly. Indeed, I believe that in some way that "God" is the totality of existence in some abstract manner (hence the I/We usage in the quran). Nothing useful comes from bowing up and down to the totality of existence but the components that form this totality very much love the doers of good and indeed the only people that do not love the doers of good are the promoters of evil themselves. The Whole has spent many years building up "his" compendium of creation and we are an insignificant part of the Whole, even on Earth. And while "murder" is the rule amongst non-sapient beings, murder of a sapient being by another is not encouraged by the Whole as evidenced by the reaction of the parts, these things are intrinsically programmed into us. In my opinion the Whole wants nothing less than all of "his" parts working together in synchronous harmony, dancing the divine dance (look at smoke & the flight of birds). If you had a cancerous tumour in your body which also had the gift of sapience, you would ask that tumour what its purpose is in trying to bring ruin to the rest of your body. And if you know in advance that the tumour's only purpose is to bring ruin to the rest of your body, then you would perhaps book yourself in for some chemotherapy.

    But that's the case with most languages. peace It is all about the recitation. When we communicate with each other, words convey only a small part of "the message". Our brains deduce the "message" by doing some complex decomposition of the sound input then analysing it for patterns. With words, one can convey definite unambiguous meaning (dense scientific literature is the best example) but most of us don't haven't developed our skills to that level and it does take the excitement out of speech. So we rely on removing the ambiguity by tuning into how the words are recited. Suppose you are your brain and you hear a sentence, you decompose the analog signal into definite words and you can imagine that it colours in parts of the signal where there are "words". As long as those coloured in shapes are present in the signal then those words will be heard irrespective of the accent. The next part of deducing the meaning is decomposing the accents, the individual syllables, etc, correlating it with previously stored patterns, blah blah blah, until we get to "the message", a clear waveform in the brain which is identical to the waveform that originated in the brain of the other person. As such, there is profound wisdom in why the quran is not merely a book, but a recitation.

    Righteousness and morailty, in the true sense of the words, is and can be understood only by accepting honestly and affectionately The Truth. Otherwise both these words are employed for deception to their ownselves and the humanity at large by the powerful segments of the society and the world at large.

    You didn't win jack. You are banned for consistent refusal to show evidence of your claims. This isn't a nut house where you can get away with raving in a confined place. It's a forum with rules to ensure that we don't debate/talk/make claims about the quran with no evidence. If you try this again, you won't ever be coming back. You still have a chance right now to cool your heels and reflect.

    The verses " 2129. Our Lord! Send amongst them a Messenger of their own (and indeed All?h answered their invocation by sending Muhammad &#1605, who shall recite unto them Your Verses and instruct them in the Book (this Qur??n) and Al-Hikmah(full knowledge of the Isl?mic laws and jurisprudence or wisdom or Prophethood), and purify them. Verily! You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise." Peace, Lets analyze the Book (Quran) and wisdom. We have Quran that is full of wisdom as evident from 362 - And the Quran that is full of wisdom. And the other wisdom is the wisdom that is necessary to understand the wisdom in the Quran and to distinguish between Allah's book and false book. The other wisdom is also the wisdom that may not be transferable. An example is Solomon 2179 - We granted Solomon the correct understanding, though we endowed both of them with wisdom and knowledge. We committed the mountains to serve David in glorifying (God), as well as the birds. This is what we did. Understanding the language of bird is limited to Solomon only. No amount of hadith can transfer that wisdom to other. If Prophet Muhammad was supposed to transfer wisdom to us then he would have left a book for us. No such book exist. That means follow the Quran and ask Allah for wisdom to understand the Quran.

    Reformer! It is time to admit that you are not an Arab. If you do admit, InshaAllah I will start teaching you Arabic, since you are already a persian slave, Bukhari and others 6 + 1 were all from Persia.

    Salaam. Quranists how do you translate this Verse? " " And whoso opposeth the messenger after the guidance (of Allah) hath been manifested unto him, and followeth other than the believer's way, We appoint for him that unto which he himself hath turned, and expose him unto hell - a hapless journey's end!" An Nissa verse 115. It amazes me how some of you can post selections from the Qu'ran which only reinforce the view of people who believe in the Qu'ran and the Qu'ran only and yet somehow be under the impression that these selections are helping your side...Allah manifested his QU'RAN into the messenger...THE QU'RAN IS THE ULTIMATE JUDGE AND THE ULTIMATE GUIDANCE...

    Then why in the world are you here? The Quran says that there is no compulsion in religion.... but this is the most compulsive dialogue I've ever seen in my life. You bash people for their beliefs, telling them they are ignorant and decieved, and, if they use the Quran to refute your accusations, you simply twist the book to mean what you want it to mean. There isn't a certificate or degree in the world which can elevate this kind of nonsensical backbiting to the status of healthy religion or enlightenment. Why even bother, if you disagree? You're not here because you care, man. You came here to crack skulls. Well said.

    No, I am proving that you are not an Arab, and additionally to expose that you have very elementary understanding of Arabic, I want that the visitors of our Forum, one of the excellent on internet, are not deceived by false claims.
